Overhiller

Anyone have the pleasure of going to this school in the 1970's? Had a great schooling experience here.

Trekked up to Everest Basecamp in 2010. A fantastic experience. A company in Swindon called Discover Adventure provide really good trekking/cycling trips in many locations across the world. Also did Kilimanjaro with them.

Thanks guys!I was hoping for a more serious thread but this one will do! :))

Very interesting! Thank you for posting that. It would explain the ditches on the north side of the estate that I used to enjoy building camps in as a child!

Anyone remember red/pink mysterious lights seen over Sth London during the mid 1970's? Cannot remember the year. I think they were reported in the South London Press at one stage.

Very interesting thread. Such a wealth of local knowledge out there. I wonder who "Dawson" was then? Any ideas? The two blocks are Bredinghurst and Ladlands. Is it correct that these were the names of local fields/manors?

Opps sorry - the above post refers to Dawson's Heights Overhill Road

,I seem to remember a local writer called Brian Green in the 1970's makes reference to a Roman fort being on the hill. Interestingly there were a number of ditches across the northern facing side of the hill in the 1970's. It has such a commanding view that it wouldn't be surprising if a defensive structure of some sorts of the period was located there. The name Dawson's Heights comes from the Dawson's Brick Factory that was located nearby. I believe that this factory provided a lot of bricks during reconstruction in the area following WW2
